The Awesome God

76 God is known in Judah;in Israel his reputation is great.2 His abode is in Salem,[a]his dwelling place in Zion.3 There he shattered sharp arrows,shields, swords, and weapons of[b] war.Interlude

4 You are enveloped by light;more majestic than mountains filled with game.5 Brave men were plunderedwhile they slumbered in their sleep.All the men of the army were immobilized.6 At the sound of your battle cry, God of Jacob,both horse and chariot rider fell into deep sleep.7 You are awesome!who can stand in your presence when you’re angry?8 From heaven you declared judgment.The earth stands in awe and is quiet9 when God arose to execute justiceand to deliver all the afflicted of the earth.Interlude10 Even human anger praises you;you will wear the survivors of your wrath as an ornament.[c]

11 Let everyone who surrounds the Lord your Godmake a vow and fulfill it to the Awesome One.[d]12 He will humble the arrogant[e] commanders-in-chief,[f]instilling fear among the kings of the earth.
